Flights and holidays to Albania

Explore the virtually unspoilt mountains of the Albanian Alps. Holiday by Albania's pristine sandy beaches such as Vlora and Dhermi along the beautiful Adriatic and Ionian Sea coastlines. Visit villages and towns almost untouched by the passing years and sip a glass of local raki (strong alcoholic aperitif made with plums and grapes) at any bar or restaurant.

Tirana

Tirana is a modern city with a rich history, set against the stunning backdrop of the Albanian Alps.

Intrepid explorers can enjoy relaxing in Tirana’s largest recreation centre in the Dajti Mountains, where visitors can take guided hikes up the mountain trails or enjoy some leisurely horseback riding along some of the beautiful scenic detours Tirana has to offer.
